This is gross, especially that the team running the study wants to be anonymous. In the discussion in the affected subreddit, people point out that the study can't actually know if they changed anyone's mind, and they don't know if they were interacting with other bots.

There are >8B people on Earth & ~1.4B insects for every human. Combined, they weigh ~70x more than all of us. Insects have been around for >350M years. Longer than the dinosaurs. Modern humans showed up 200-300,000 years ago. We need insects to survive. They don't need us. This is their world.

What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification. The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.

Bluesky is rolling out verification, both by Bluesky and trusted verifier accounts like the New York Times. They still recommend people verify with their own domain. There isn't any way to request blue check verification. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

I'm a couple days early for this proclamation, but thought it could be a catalyst for action. Consider planting flowers that benefit pollinators (butterflies, bees, etc.). Don't need to tell you that Monarch populations (and host of lesser known species) have fallen dramatically. Be a solution.

Also Sunday at 11AM Pacific time is a special OnEBoard Earth Day live event. We will be chatting about active steps you can take to help butterflies and pollinators.

Blue checks are coming to Bluesky! It's an interesting hybrid model that combines centralized verification (Bluesky says you're legit) with decentralized verification (an outside org says you're legit).
